Over many generations the Hobbits drifted westward until around [[Third Age 1050]] many were settled until the [[Weather Hills]], but many [[Stoors]] settled near [[Tharbad]] in [[Dunland]].

The others continued westward and their first settlements were in [[Bree]] and [[Staddle]].

The Wandering Days is the term used by Hobbits to refer to the centuries-long period of their westward migration from their races' ancestral home somewhere in the wild East (probably in the upper vales of the river Anduin).

Eventually, in the year T.A. 1601 a large population of Hobbits was granted permission by King Argeleb II, one of the least few Kings of Arthedain, to colonize the region beyond the Brandywine, and were later joined by the Stoors of Dunland. This would become The Shire, the main homeland of most of Hobbit-kind.

The oral history and memory of the Hobbits does not extend further back than their "Wandering Days", with their exact origins having been lost.
